CD3 zeta Protein, Human, Recombinant (GST Tag)

CD247, also known as CD3-ZETA, belongs to the CD3Z/FCER1G family. It contains 3 ITAM domains. As a -cell receptor zeta, CD247 forms the T-cell receptor-CD3 complex together with T-cell receptor alpha/beta and gamma/delta heterodimers, and with CD3-gamma, -delta and –epsilon. The zeta chain plays an important role in coupling antigen recognition to several intracellular signal-transduction pathways. Low expression of the antigen results in impaired immune response. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for CD247 gene. Defects in CD247 can cause immunodeficiency due to defect in CD3-zeta. An immunological deficiency characterized by T-cells impaired immune response to alloantigens, tetanus toxoid and mitogens. CD247 may play a role in assembly and expression of the TCR complex as well as signal transduction upon antigen triggering.

At Leading Biology, the biological activity of a recombinant protein is routinely measured using a bioassay, e.g. chemotaxis or cell proliferation assay, enzyme assay, or a functional ELISA. When a recombinant protein is an enzyme, specific activity is derived from an enzymatic assay. Each enzyme is tested for potency by cleavage of a substrate. We are in the process of updating the biological activity data. If you have any questions regarding this update, please feel free to contact our technical support team.

Lyophilized from sterile PBS, pH 7.4. Please contact us for any concerns or special requirements. Normally 5 % - 8 % trehalose, mannitol and 0.01% Tween 80 are added as protectants before lyophilization. Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hard copy of CoA.

The recombinant human CD247 /GST chimera consists of 347 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 40.2 kDa. It migrates as an approximately 28-43 KDa band in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions.

In general, recombinant proteins are provided as lyophilized powder which are shipped at ambient temperature. Bulk packages of recombinant proteins are provided as frozen liquid. They are shipped out with blue ice unless customers require otherwise. Stable for 1 year at -20°C or below from date of shipment. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and opening the cap. For long-term storage, aliquot and store at -20°C or below. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
